Overview
This bill upgrades the crime of theft of scrap metal from transportation systems in New Jersey. Currently, theft of scrap metal from these systems is a crime of the third degree unless certain conditions are met. This bill changes this to a crime of the second degree if the theft results in serious bodily injury to someone other than the perpetrator. The bill also amends existing sentencing guidelines to eliminate a presumption against imprisonment for first-time offenders and clarifies the definition of ‘transportation system.’
